Well, depends how a vlogger records his/her audio. If (smartly) uses lav mic, the noisy AF motor will not be a problem. I bought that lense. The motor IS noisy indeed, but only affects video if I want to use the natural sound. Ask yourselves how often you do that. Because, apart of that, the lense is good very quality for the money.

Thanks for the video Isaac. Since I'll be using it mainly for videos, the autofocus noise test is exactly what I was wanting to establish before buying.

I would say that this lens is really good for videos, where you in post edit will replace the camera sound with a music clip so the motor focus sound is no more to hear, but for vloging or interview videos that might be a huge problem. Very sad that such a good optical quality lens has a outdated cheap focus motor.

Great video. I recently bought canon 50mm f1.4. Do you think I should return it and get canon 50mm f1.8? And I am still confused with sigma 17-50mm f2.8 vs sigma 18-35mm f1.8... Please advice me.. Thanks!

I just purchased this lens used. Very nice lens but I seem to get better results with manual focus, or shutter priority. It came with a lens hood that I have been unable to attach securely. I saw another KZitem video where the man had addressed this issue, put the lens hood on and it clicked into place. I have not found this to be the case. What am I doing wrong?

how to choose between [[SIGMA 17-50 f/2.8]] and [[SIGMA 18-35 f/1.8]], the difference in weight is about 300g but the overall performance of 18-35 is unbeatable, also 1.8 is 2.5times more light... yet more expansive

+Davide Fricano depends what you plan on shooting. If your shooting still objects in the studio or the environment, prime lens like the canons are good. You will need to keep swapping lens depending on the shot and have to move around a lot more to get everything in frame as the focal length is fixed. The sigma being a zoom lens is more versatile and can allow you to just have it on all the time. You can simply zoom in or out to get the frame right rather than having to setup your camera closer or farther from your subject. The only negative thing with the sigma is the auto focus noise from the motor is loud and can be picked up by your cameras microphone when recording video. You either have to disable the autofocus or stand still when recording.

Davide Fricano I had that same doubt, and I decided to go for the sigma 17-50mmm f2.8 and the Canon 50mm f1.8, I chose this combo because the sigma is a nice all around lens but I want that extra blurry background for portraits. The 24mm f2.8 pancake gives you the same aperture and a bit more sharpness than the sigma, but the sigma's zoom is more practical than getting close to the action or changing lenses. You could just get the sigma, f2.8 is still nice for portraits, but I really want the blurred background you get with the 50mm f1.8

The main problem is I've a fixed budget over which I can't go. I even considered I'll continue to use 18-55 stm lens, so ,for example, for landscape I'd use low aperture. Otherwise I could use 17-50 as a definitive lens, more ergonomic but with f2.8 and less sharpness. So if I buy 24mm and 50mm lenses I'd add to the kit lens. Instead if I buy sigma 17-50 I'd replace also the kit lens. I don't know... At low aperture 18-55 and 17-50 are very similar... cause I should use the kit lens just during the day I don't need fast aperture. In fact if I should take a portaits i'd prefer a better bokeh (50mm f1.8) ... so confused...

Davide Fricano Davide Fricano that makes sense, may I ask you what are your plans for your photography? I want the sigma to take pictures in low light situations and the zoom from wide to tele is more helpful than the extra aperture of the 50 f1.8, and I also have a small budget, so I'm considering a used sigma 17-50 f2.8, which is almost half the price of it new and still cheaper than buying a new 50 f1.8 and 24 f2.8. If you completely replace the kit lens, you could just sell it or use for video only, the STM motor from the newer kit lens is very silent and smooth.

I "was born" as a videomaker and so I need something which gives me that cinematic look. My videomaking teacher suggested me to buy the sigma 17-50 but in other forums people said the opposite thing. So i'm very confused. Now I shoot more photographs than videos but the problem is the same. I want to focus on portaits but also landscapes. I need sharpness because I print photos. I was going to buy the sigma lens but some comments which discoureged me talking about experiences of back/front focus, noisy autofocus, short focus ring, weight and sometimes low sharpness in the corners. In the opposite site we find 2 fantastic lenses which haven't any stabilization and which are less ergonomic. Maybe now I'm going to convince myself to buy 50 mm stm . I also thought to buy, for portaits, the samyang 85mm f1.4 spending quite the same money.

Aneesh Chanawala - if you were to only carry a single lens then I would go for the 17-50mm simply because it's easier to compose your shot when you can zoom in and out compared to a fixed 50mm lens.

+Kao Nashi the Auto Focus motor is noisy and it will be picked up by any external microphone attached on your camera. I would not recommend using this lens with the AF turned on if you plan on capturing audio. You could try and use a lapel microphone if you need to capture audio of someone speaking or an external microphone that is away from the lens or use a canon lens with a Silent motor (STM)

@Isaac8243

+Nashif Shahriar Rakin I will see if I can make a video sometime in the future. For portraits I can recommend this lens because it has a low aperture of f2.8 available throughout the zoom range. This will allow you to get blurry out of focus backgrounds while your subject will be in focus in the centre of the image. it's not the sharpest lens out there but to get a sharper image you will need to spend double the cost of this.

@Isaac8243

I would say the Canon is sharper, especially when shooting with aperture really low. Generally you will find that a Prime lens will be much sharper than a comparable Zoom Lens. If you want super sharp images buy a prime lens but if you want more flexibility then a zoom lens is an option.
